Wow! Really good eye. Remember the tv program Columbo with Peter Falk? I don’t recall which episode it was but in a couple of the scenes there is a blue 412 wagon parked on the street. If I ever find it I’ll try to post.

Cool! Unfortunately, I never got to own a 412 (or a 411 for that matter). More unfortunately, the car next to it -- the Maverick (aka Maver-wreck) -- was something I owned way back when. Oh, well. It made me appreciate VWs all the more even though there was a Fiat in between The Grabber and the GLI. The closest I got to a Type 4 was 914 engine (2056cc) in my '71. I still browse the forum and live vicariously reading it.

Excellent spotting, Ray! When I do find a rare Type 4 sighting in either a TV show or movies, I'll try to get a screen shot of it and load it to my gallery. Then post it in the "VWs in Films/TV/etc." General/Chat thread because the Type 4 does not have a dedicated thread in its Forum section for this. Sometimes only a small portion of the car is visible, just like in yours here.

Looks like the larger aluminum bumper of the ‘74 to me. Some other interesting cars in that shot including the second gen. Capri poking its nose in on the extreme right; the Toyota Corona; the purple bug on the left hiding behind a....hmm....looks brit?

Great eye Ray!
Now - you know the movie Sleepless in Seattle?
There's a 411 in that - rent the movie ( or whatever these days...) and tell me if you spot it!
